Mikel Arteta's side have already had three red cards in eight Premier League matches so far this term.
William Saliba is the latest player to be suspended as he serves a one-match ban this weekend.
The French defender was sent off in the defeat to Bournemouth last Saturday.
He will now miss Sunday's home clash with Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium.
Ahead of the match, Woods admitted Arsenal's disciplinary record is a worry.
She told BetMGM: "I do worry for Arsenal, with injuries and suspensions.
"No Ricardo Calafiori, no Martin Odegaard, no Jurien Timber and no William Saliba. I tell you what, it’s pretty infuriating being an Arsenal fan at the moment!
"What’s even more infuriating is feeling like a broken record and mentioning that the next day Tosin Adarabioyo only got booked for a foul just like Saliba’s on Diogo Jota.
"Yes, we Arsenal fans moan, but we should also all be wanting to see consistency in the league with decisions like this because next week it’ll be your team.
"Taking a bit of responsibility, though, Arsenal need to stop getting themselves into these situations. We’re literally leaking points and throwing away games. We don’t look the part at all!"
Saliba's suspension takes the number of Arsenal absentees to seven this weekend.
Bukayo Saka, Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber are all set to miss out through injury after failing to train on Friday.
Meanwhile, Woods believes Liverpool are City's main title rivals this season.
The presenter added: "I watched Liverpool in Europe on Wednesday, and while they didn’t blow RB Leipzig away, it was a good game for Darwin Nunez’s confidence.
"Scoring a goal and proving a handful throughout the match, they need him to be at his best against Arsenal if he replaces Diogo Jota again.
"Liverpool look organised, less chaotic and more controlled under Arne Slot. He has a brilliant team too and their defence is once again immense. I think it’ll be the defence that would carry them to a title.
"Jurgen Klopp left them in a really good place with some very promising youngsters coming through and a few experienced old heads that know how to see out the league.
"I absolutely afforded them a season of transition, but I’ve been so impressed, I think they’re Manchester City’s closest challengers now."
